REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Transamerica Corporation
San Francisco, California
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Transamerica Corporation Employees Stock Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan
at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

subsidiaries may participate upon completion of one year of service. Subject
to certain restrictions, participants generally may defer 1% to 6% of their
salaries and contribute that amount to the Plan. These salary deferrals are
matched at 75% by employer contributions. In addition, subject to certain
restrictions, prior to January 1, 1992, participants were permitted to defer
an amount from their salaries equivalent to the amount of cash dividends they
periodically received as distributions from the Plan. These salary deferrals
were not matched by employer contributions. Effective January 1, 1993, most
non-highly compensated employees (as defined) are permitted to defer an
additional 1% to 6% of their salaries as contributions to the Plan, and if
Plan non-discrimination tests permit, highly compensated employees may defer
an additional 1% of their salaries as contributions to the Plan. These
additional contributions are not matched by the employer.
Through December 31, 1992, participant contributions under the Plan were
invested, as directed by the participant, either entirely in the Corporation's
common stock or in the Transamerica Fixed Income Fund or split between these
two alternatives. Participants age 55 or older could elect certain additional
investment alternatives. All employer matching contributions under the Plan
are invested in the Corporation's common stock, except as described in the
next paragraph.
Effective January 1, 1993, participants also are permitted to direct that
their salary deferrals be invested in any of six additional investment
alternatives: the Transamerica Cash Reserve Fund, the Transamerica Bond Fund,
the Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, the
Transamerica Equity Index Fund, and the Transamerica Equity Fund. Beginning
February 1, 1993, participants age 60 or older may redirect the investment of
all or part of their employer matching contributions from the Corporation's
common stock to any of the other available investment alternatives.
Beginning July 1, 1993, eligible participants may, subject to certain
restrictions, apply for loans from their plan accounts. Loan repayments are
deposited back into the participant's plan accounts and allocated to the
various investment funds according to the participant's election for
allocation of pretax contributions. Loans from the Company matching account
are not permitted.
The Corporation and its participating subsidiaries, including
Transamerica Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the issuer of the group
pension contract under which the Transamerica Fixed Income Fund is maintained
and the sponsoring company for the Transamerica Bond Fund, Transamerica Equity
Fund and Transamerica Equity Index Fund), are defined as parties in interest

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE A--Description of the Plan (Continued)
with respect to the Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA). Transactions between the Plan and such parties in interest are
intended to qualify for one or more of the prohibited transaction exemptions
under ERISA.
The Plan provides that participants acquire a vested interest in the
employer account balances based upon their years of service with the
Corporation or its participating subsidiaries. If a participant terminates
employment before full vesting, the nonvested portion of the participant's
interest will be forfeited. The Corporation has the right to change or
terminate the Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Plan
provides for full vesting of all participants' employer accounts.
During 1993, the Corporation completed the sale of its subsidiary,
Transamerica Insurance Group. Account balances of the participating
employees of Transamerica Insurance Group were transferred to the stock
savings plan of the new company, TIG Holdings, Inc., after completion of the
initial public offering in April 1993.
NOTE B--Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting for Investments: The Plan's investment in the Corporation's
common stock is valued at the closing price on the last business day of the
year on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions.
Transamerica Fixed Income Fund is valued at cost plus accrued interest
income and Transamerica Cash Reserve Fund is valued at cost, which
approximates market value. Shares of Transamerica Bond Fund, Transamerica
Equity Fund, Transamerica Equity Index Fund, Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund, T.
Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, FPA Capital Fund, Inc., Fidelity Magellan Fund,
Inc. and Fidelity Equity-Income Fund are valued at the net asset value per
share reported by the Fund at December 31.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Repurchases of shares within the Plan are
accounted for at the average monthly price of the shares in the month they are
sold by employees or forfeited to the Plan. The price is calculated as the
average of the price of the stock as listed in the New York Stock Exchange
composite transactions as determined by the Plan administrator in a uniform
and nondiscriminatory manner. The cost of shares sold or distributed is
determined on an average cost basis. Dividend income from the Corporation's
common stock and shares of Dodge & Cox Balance Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity
Income Fund, FPA Capital Fund, Inc., Fidelity Magellan Fund, Inc. and Fidelity
Equity-Income Fund is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from
Transamerica Cash Reserve Fund is accrued as earned and interest income from
Transamerica Fixed Income Fund, Bank of America's Short Term Investment Fund

(cash equivalent) and from participant loans is accrued as earned. Interest
on participant loans is calculated at the Bank of America prime rate plus 1%.
Expenses: All Plan administrative expenses are paid by the Corporation
and its participating subsidiaries.
Income Taxes: The Plan is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code,
and its related trust and custodial accounts are exempt from federal income
tax, under section 501(a) of the Code. Participants are not subject to income
tax on employer contributions, contributions made through salary deferrals, or
income credited to their accounts until these amounts are distributed.
